Journal Guide

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR), the official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, is an open access, online journal that publishes articles on all aspects of basic and clinical research on the design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system.

The Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine publishes original research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches, design and goals of clinical trials, review articles, points of view, editorials and images in cardiovascular medicine.The Journal goes beyond the concept of evidence-based medicine at a regional level—critical commentary and case studies allow for variances between countries and regions. The Journal is designed to assist clinicians in making the best possible use of evidence-based medicine in primary and critical care, diagnosis and treatment decisions.For more information, visit www.jcardiovascularmedicine.com .
